What is being done?
Due to essential electrical maintenance work by Estates in the Redwood Building on Thursday 2 May 2024, the following IT services will be affected.
Redwood Building computer access.
All IT equipment and services in the Redwood building which use mains power will be unavailable for a period during the day. During the electrical work, both on-site and remote access to those computers will be unavailable. Access may be intermittent due to the nature of the electrical work.
Hawk Supercomputer and supporting ARCCA services hosted at Redwood Building.
The following will be unavailable for a period during this day, and we will endeavour to restore service as soon as possible: • Hawk compute and login systems, including local file system storage. • ARCCA-managed research data storage systems (this does not include the University's Research Data Store). • ARCCA hosted VM infrastructure. • MySCW web portal.
Please note that any submitted compute jobs on ARCCA equipment will not start, if their maximum run time exceeds the time at which the outage is scheduled to begin. However, there should be available capacity for most jobs prior to the outage.
